Jealousy

Introducing Umbra. Umbra is the shadow borzoi grabbing on to poor Cirque's head. Umbra is a malevolent demon who manipulates basically anyone who is susceptible to corruption, like grumpy Cirque here. He then fills their heads with evil thought. In Cirques case, he has become sour, jealous, and hateful. Sometimes he can actually control the actions of others, like Rougarou. Umbra travels only in shadows, and enters peoples minds by entering through their pupils. He can also travel through mirrors. You can tell if a mirror has been used by Umbra because it suddenly shatters in interesting patterns. If Umbra finds someone who doesn't have a soul, Umbra has the ability to take the place of that person's soul and posses them, which is what happened to Rougarou. If someone is possessed by Umbra, then their shadow and reflection will look like Umbra's. On his own Umbra has no reflection.
